Spanish term

acabado primario

Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
This is a description of a project by a contemporary artist from Argentina:

En una construcción que los curadores recuerdan como “medio titánica, tipo Fitzcarraldo”, la artista hizo una escalera mecánica de tela pintada que giraba impulsada por un motor que emitía un fuerte ruido. En medio de un acabado primario, algunos rasgos, como la chapa al pie de la escalera, bordeaban el hiperrealismo, de manera que lograba mezclar tridimensionalidad y simulación de la tridimensión.

I know this artist's work and she builds actual objects, sculptures, out of painted canvas. I also know that "acabado" usually refers to the production process.

Thanks
